Fandom Sword Art Online: The Front Lines

[Robin man]

Jepitha nodded slowly before he let out a soft sigh. A few short moments later, the blacksmith finished the repairs. Jepitha paid her about 1,400 kol. "I'm glad that's finished." He said softly. "One thing about rumors, is that they'll die along with the people that spread them." He said as he looked over his inventory again.

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni nodded softly "That is true. Come on, I'm finished here." with that, she walked out without waiting for him. There was no reason to wait. She kind of wanted to go back to her cabin and rest. Too much action for Maoni in such a short amount of time. She kind of hated it because she didnt like to be tired in a few hours after being asleep..

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha nodded as he followed her out of the smith shop. "I can definitely go for a nap right now." He said before he rubbed his face, in attempt to wake himself up. "But first, lunch time." He said as he started walk to the tavern to get some food.

[Britt-21]

Maoni looked at him before now following him "I guess filling up your stomach would make you sleep?" she asked, crossing her arms as they walked "I'll pay for whatever you get. Since you just spend a ton of money on your repairs." might as well have him relieved to not have to pay for something. Everything in this game required payment weather its the person paying or the quest givers.

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino was standing outside the tavern waiting for the other three. He had already quested and come back in the short amount of time they'd all been gone. When he saw Maoni and Jep, he stood up and ran towards them, hugging them.


"Guys! I love you all! Let's go to floor 30! Let's celebrate! I finally made it to 2 million Kol! Yippee!" Kino jumped into the air happily. "I LOVE MONEY!!!" He cheered.


At night, they had all made it to an expensive resturant on the 30th floor. "Woaaaahhhh... Fancy..." Kino said.


@Britt-21 @Robin man

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni sighed as she was forced to dine out. Poor Maoni just wanted Sleep!! But Kino kept that from happening with this whole thing. "Kino where in the world did you get 2 million Kol?" she asked as she rested her head on her hand. Her elbow was on the table in order to nkeep her head propped up. "PLease dont tell me you stole from people or something.."

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha was surprised to say the least about Kinos latest accomplishment. For the six months that he knew Kino, he didn't seem that rich at all, he thought that was certain when Jepitha had to pay for everything. "So... You mean to tell me, that for six months I didn't had to pay for anything?" He asked, slightly annoyed, or just enough to slam his fist against the table. "Your a real piece of work Kino." He said through his teeth.

 

[Stormblooded]

Hisashi was making his way back into town when he heard Kino's voice from in front of the tavern.


Quickly, he ducked and hid on the side of the tavern until they'd left.


"Floor 30, huh?" He said to himself once they were gone, and made his way around the side of the building. He pulled up his user panel and set it to "hide cursor", thankful that the town was one of the places where they could be hidden without suspicion.


Hisashi then made his way over to the blacksmith, and called out, "Are you.still open? I'm looking to get some armor."


The blacksmith walked out from the back of the store and dusted her outfit off.


"What can I get for you?" She smiled.


"Er, heavy armor if you have any? And an arm shield. Mine kinda got destroyed, heheh."


The blacksmith disappeared again and came back with a blue plate armor, silver trim, and a matching half shield.


Hisashi's eyes widened. "How much for it?"


"4.5 thousand Kol"


"SOLD" Hisashi transferred the money over and then leaned on the counter of the shop, resting his head on his hand.


"My name's Hisashi, by the way." He said as he put the armor on.

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kind smiled. "Hehe... I was never poor. I like to save my money, I'm not really into buying, and more into saving." He said. "I was going to save it for a rainy day... But i've got a better idea. Rumor has it that level 50 has large high end living spaces... I'm going to buy one for all of us. And finally we'll get to live like a true family." he hugged both Maoni and Jep. "Anyways, that will have to wait until the front line reaches level fifty." Kino thought for a second. "Hey, can one of you send Hisashi a message? I think he wouldn't accept the invitaton if it were from me... I've been horrible."


@Britt-21 @Robin man

 

[Britt-21]

"I wouldn't like to move out of my home I have on the one floor I'm on.. I prefer my small cabin anyway." Maoni said as she was hugged like jep was. "Just tell him I'm in trouble and he'll come running." With a shrug she pulled away from the hug "I can't believe you have that much kol though, kino." So much Continued to keep happening. What else was going to happen today? Maoni was just getting more tired at this point.

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino frowned. "Hey! You have to live with us. We're like... Kinda like a guild but not really. To truly be together we have to live together." Kino saw the hostess and was escorted to a table. "Someone message Hisashi or no food for anyone." Kino ordered.


@Britt\-21

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha rolled his eyes as he opened his messaging system. "I'll do it." He said before he sent Hisashi an invite. He then sent a message. "Accept my request and teleport to me, we're having dinner at this really nice restaurant, and you don't even have to pay a single penny, or Kol I should say."


@Kori Zanos

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni didnt say anything really. There was no reason to. Though, just thinking about what happened between her and Hisashi seemed to make her flustered. Sadly, she couldnt tell simply because she was so in far thought about it. What would have happened if we kissed though? Sure it's not the right time to even think about that but still..he basiclly confessed to me..in a way. I wonder what he's even doing now...

 

[Stormblooded]

Hisashi was talking to the blacksmith when the teleport invite flashed on his user panel.


"What's that?" The blacksmith asked him.


"Aw, it's no big deal. Where was I?" Hisashi said dismissively. "So anyways, the dragon was coming down on them, so I did what came naturally and jumped in front of it and hit it in the face with my ham-" he was cut off by the message came along with the invite.


"Just a sec." He said as he opened the message.


"So that's where they were going? some restaurant?" Hisashi looked up from the message and smiled. "Sorry, turns out my group's gotten themselves into a, uh, fight and need my help. Thanks for the armor! I'll be back when I need to upgrade on my hammer!" He said before accepting the teleport invite and appearing in front of the table the trio was now sitting at.


I'm probably only allowed in because my cursor is hidden...


"Sorry I'm late! Went in to buy this nice ass armor," he said, showing it off before changing into his cloak. "Ended up staying to talk to the blacksmith. She's pretty cool. Sent me a friend request." He said as he sat down in the seat across from Maoni.


"So, what's the occasion? Don't think I could afford a glass of water here..." He glanced around the restaurant.


@Britt\-21

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino looked at Hisashi and then down at the table. "I'm... I'm sorry Hisashi." He looked up at him, an apologetic look on his face. "I kind of over reacted, and I'm sorry. I also wanted to celebrate my 2 million Kol by having dinner with you all. So sit down with us and let's order.


Kino was sitting next to Maoni, Jep sitting across from him. He looked back and forth Between Hisashi and Maoni, and winked at Hisashi. "You guys like each other, don't you?"


@Britt-21 @Robin man @Kori Zanos

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni snapped out of it when she heard Kino practiclly calling out both herself and Hisashi. Looking at Kino, she seemed composed again "Of course I like him, he's my friend. If I didnt like him I wouldnt be hanging out with him." the shield she needed "Just like how I like you and Jep." had to cover it up, somehow some way. She wouldnt dare try to give into the temptation of liking Hisashi..maybe she already did give into it. She didnt say anything about it

 

[Stormblooded]

Hisashi pulled up the restaurants menu as Kino apologized. "Don't sweat it, it's a natural reaction. I don't blame you and I'm not hurt by what you said or anything like that. Although... Paying for dinner would be a nice apology indeed." He smirked, noticing the expensive food items.


When Kino continued and seemed to catch on about the tension between Hisashi and Maoni, his ears went pink and he buried his face even further into the menu.


Hisashi stared the menu he was suddenly amazed with. He looked up breifly and raised an eyebrow at Maoni when she spoke out.


"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, Blade Witch." He said quietly before looking back down at the menu.

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni looked at Hisashi "Denial? What would I be rejecting, Hisashi? I have nothing to hide." in fact she did have her little fantasies hiding in her head. Such aaaaaasss....Her kissing him at that moment in the doorway. There had been a lot of thoughts that had popped into her head. And no, she didnt think about THAT you perverts! ( xD )Having someone to crush on was new to Maoni and it was quite fun to play with Hisashi this way. She was like the cat and he was like the fish. She was practiclly playing with her food in a way. But all Maoni was doing was playing hard to get. "Im sure you're hiding something with your face hidden like that."

 

[Stormblooded]

"I'm simply admiring the fine craftsmanship of this menu." Hisashi said before looking up and meeting Maoni's eye.


"B'sides, I've said I needed to." He said calmly before looking around and addressing the group.


"Y'all have met the blacksmith by the tavern back on 22, right? She's nice isn't she? TOTALLY flirting with me back there. Invited me over to her house tonight, can you believe it?" He said braggingly, trying to get a reaction out of Maoni.

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni's eye twitched just slightly, jealousy sparking within her as she looked at the menu for something to eat..or drink. She had to ignore that sparked jealousy and continue to play hard to get. But it was as if he had her on a line and was trying to get her to crack before he did. "Well thats good for you. Got a girl just by flirting around. I bet you dont even know her name." lifting her eyes from the menu, she looked at him Two can play at that game, Hisashi. Dont try it. "If you want to go to her house, do whatever you please. Not like we're going to stop you." Not that she cared...okay maybe she did care..

 

[Stormblooded]

Hisashi smirked, noticing Maoni's eye twitch. He looked down at the food choices, his face blank of emotion. "Her name is Steph, and I wasn't asking for permission." He said casually.


He raised his eyes again and frowned in mock-confusion.


"Why so harsh all of the sudden? Did you not like Steph? I thought she was really nice. Great listener, too. Plus she's pretty cute." He said, a glint of mischeif in Hisashi's eyes as he said the last part.


@Britt\-21

 

[Britt-21]

Of cours ehe wasnt asking for permission. Not that she cared about it. Though, the cute comment sparked another wire. Before speaking, Maoni chose her words carefully before speaking "She is a fine blacksmith. She crafted my blade which turned out to be one of the best blades in the game." Maoni had to make sure to hide any hint of Jealousy that started to arise. "Though I dont classify her as cute..Then again I am a woman too so calling her cute would be weird."

 

[Stormblooded]

Hisashi smirked.


"A fine blacksmith, you got that right!" His eyes narrowed as he became bolder with his words.


"I mean, have you seen her? If I were a chick, I'd be jealous of her! Maybe I should invite here here, I mean, you're supposed to buy girls dinner before anything else happens, right?" Hisashi said, getting a bit louder as he stared Maoni down, waiting for her reaction.


@Britt\-21

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni raised her eyebrow as she just stared him down "Why would I be jealous of such a girl? For starters, thats not how things work in this world, Hisashi. You get to know the girl first, after a long while then you ask her out, go on a few dates, and have dinner and then do what you want afterwards." this was just going to continue back and forth wasnt it "Now tone it down before I cut you down with my new blade." if he made one more comment, she was going to walk out. Most likely not leave but just walk out and take a breather "I dont know what you're getting out of this. Are you trying to start something? Or do you really just want me to leave the party and leave you all be?" Thats it! Switch it back on him.

 

[Robin man]

During the entire conversation, Jepitha was reading the menu that was handed to him. He ordered a mug of beer to start with. Once he got the mug, h es tarted watching the conversation with some intrigued. Once Hisashi added the comment about bringing her to dinner. "You can't call it a dinner date when he you have to depend on another man to pay for your ass." He told Hisashi, deciding to have Maonis back on this one.
